She was also the girlfriend of the late celeb chef Anthony Bourdain and she was one of many who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.
DC: A leader of the #MeToo movement allegedly paid off her own sexual assault victim after accusing film producer Harvey Weinstein of a 1997 rape in October 2017.
Italian director and actress Asia Argento, one of Weinstein’s first public accusers, apparently paid actor and musician Jimmy Bennett $380,000 in exchange for his agreement not to sue her after she allegedly sexually assaulted him in 2013, The New York Times reported Sunday. Argento was 37 years old and Bennett was 17 years old at the time of the incident.
“We hope nothing like this ever happens to you again,” Argento’s lawyer, Carrie Goldberg, wrote in an April letter to Argento. “You are a powerful and inspiring creator and it is a miserable condition of life that you live among shitty individuals who’ve preyed on both your strengths and your weaknesses.”
Bennett’s own lawyer, Gordon Sattro, described a “sexual battery” perpetrated by Argento on Bennett that affected both the musician’s mental health and income, in a November letter he sent to lawyer Richard Hofstetter, who was then representing Argento.
Bennett asked Argento for $3.5 million in damages for lost wages, emotional distress, battery and assault. The actor had made over $2.7 million in the five years leading up to the alleged 2013 incident, but he has since earned an average of $60,000 per year. More
Now that women are being accused of sexual assault the entire concept of “MeToo” will quietly go away like the Las Vegas and Toronto shootings.
How does a 105 pound woman sexually assault a guy and why has it never happened to me.
Sexual assailants…It takes one to know one?
“Sexual assault”?! Gee…I always thought sex with a minor was “rape.” Silly me.
p.s. TO Bad Brad: sign me up, too.
She got him with a strapon?
What kind of wimp gets raped by a woman? And secondly what kind of wimp falls apart from it?
Fag detector is picking up strong signals.
Now we know a dollar amount that liberal female integrity can be bought for.

Gladys, thanks for the heads up.
My guess? Dude allowed himself to be “used” so that he could treat her like a winning lottery ticket. Wait, I get to have sex with a pretty girl AND I come out with a crap-load of money? Sign me up.

> She got him with a strapon?
A seventeen year old “he”. Actor and musician. Who’d been paid over two-and-a-half meelyun dollars. Since he was twelve.
I’m guessing phallic “assault” would not affect his market value.
Yeah he’s traumatized she’s a tattooed freak.
He was a child actor. He knows what pays in the business. Once he started growing up, the roles dropped off. My guess is he went along with her and then cried “statutory” rape to get a paycheck. She was stupid enough to do a semi-famous 17 year old, and she paid the price.
The movie is called The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things.
Incredibly fucked up movie. It’s on Amazon Prime.
The kid was probably 10 when he was in it. Won’t give the story away but its about Argento as an abusive, druggie, insane mother who kidnaps her son from a good home and he has to adapt to the craziness around him.
Deeply disturbing finale.
Wow, I’m kind of ashamed of bad brad right now…
Psychological and sexual manipulation of a minor (17) vs an adult.
She might have just grabbed him by the privates and wouldn’t let go until he gave in, that’s rape.
She could have begun to try and have sex with him, only for him to tell her no stop, and she could easily say, ‘I’ll say that you tried to rape me, I’ll ruin your life.’
I’m sure I could come up with another example if I have to. As someone with a male family member who was sexually assaulted by an order woman when he was in collage, I’d say I have a pretty frickin good idea on whether or not a BOY (1 7) could be raped or sexually assaulted or not
